Are any of those what you mean? <br />A food garden, as you know, is a commitment and a time sucker. And an energy sucker! It can be worth it. If I was you and was wanting to do it, I'd do the fall garden. So much easier to maintain and the greens are so awesome.

We just keep cutting them back to the ground. It's basically all we can do.

It can grow up to 35 metres high. Wow. It is beautiful but I think GD is the right name of it. <br /><br />Good luck, that's all I got sadly.<br /><br />I started pruning plants for winter tonight. Cutting back plants with spent flowers and general tidying.
